Any ideas on how to get more elevation on photon rt mounted on piccanny rail on ruger 22 hornet,if you wedge back of rail it gets close but no more adjustment on scope

A rail with moa built in it will do what you need then dial the scope back to get your zero.

Have a look at this , its the best way to tackle it and a lot cheaper lol

A fudge both ways.....that looks like 4 wedges set in the body....a pound says if the op is not one to fiddle with 3mm Allen keys he would regret not adding a rail.
How to be proved wrong...

You could try a droop compensating mount, for extra inclination of the scope.
maybe you're too close to target, what distance is the zero?

Ask Thomas Jacks, for advice, they're always willing to help.

I don't think that method works on the RT - it does not appear to have the same collars and ball joint.
MOA rail is the way to go

A REALLY SIMPLE, hugely IN-expensive work around that I have used to good effect in years passed is this:-

Cut a piece out of a laminated business card or the like (something pliable of uniform thinness and of a non compressible material) that you can cover the inside of the rear, bottom ring ONLY. Carefully lay in/on the scope you have and CAREFULLY tighten down all ring screws as usual.

Simply put this just slightly elevates the rear end of the scope which will mean one will need to elevate the rifle barrel passed where it once was to gain the sight picture again, this giving one more sight elevation/range.

ATB ........ and shoot safely.

Same as above but I used electrical tape built up on the mounts. It cost nothing, doesn’t damage the scope and holds zero. Although other will tell you that it’s bad for the scope I have found any damaged cause in numerous scopes including the photon.

It wouldn't cause any damage in the tube on a Photon, because there's only a small cable inside the tube - no glass
